Bush Tries to Be Unpopular _ Not Really
Mar 20, 5:57 PM (ET)
WASHINGTON (AP) - Who knew? President Bush wants to be unpopular.
Not really, of course, but that's what his press secretary said Thursday.
Spokeswoman Dana Perino was making the case that it's no surprise that Bush has low poll ratings because he is overseeing an unpopular war. But then her argument went off the tracks.
"Both the president and the vice president have long believed, and it's a part of what has made them the leaders that they are, which is not to chase popularity polls but to hold themselves to a standard that requires people not to like them," she said.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

ah it was easy for me I disliked him the momment I heard him speak. I could tell he was a wanker and in short time I read his record and never thought the country would elect him.
Im glad to realise they very well may never have elected the Putz.

I watched the games bush had played in TX and saw pretty much how he would be. But the extent of his depravities exhibited while president suprised me as well.

Wow, look at the lefties shucking, jiving, and twisting again. They just can't get their wits around the idea that some people don't set their philosophies by listening to polls.
The Constitution isn't perfect, but it's better than the system we're using now.

There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.

I would only add Tin pot dictators as Bush does not qualify nor is he smart enough to be a full fledged dictator. Sort of like Groucho Marx in Duck Soup.
